today, here's what we're saying about energy today, energy, energy, energy. white house sensitive to us. there you go up to nashua, new hampshire, having an energy event. but yesterday, the president's talking about energy, and as kim said, the republicans were not. i heard there was a lot of hand-wringing over, why did you go forward with this amendment? there was no need to, you sort of move on. >> right, republicans are caught. i think one of the consequences of being in the majority is, it's tough to agree. and with blunt, you know, there's still these ties to the most conservative element of the party. and they have to shift, as kim said, they have to shift to obama and the economy. and i think that that will happen, once the nomination is decided. but for right now, with all of this uncertainty, republicans have to get on the same page if they have any chance of defeating the president. >> i've had some other republicans say that this is a case where you're allowing the minority of the party dictate the messaging of the day a little bit too much. where
